Wiki Update and sorry about the downtime.

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:39:17 +0000

We have recently moved from one server to what is meant to be a better one which more redundancy and reliability but had a couple of issues with the server and were unfortunately down for a couple of hours over the past few days. We have now fixed the problem and should not encounter it again.

On the better side with the new server we have been able to update Mediawiki to version 1.15.4 this is designed to give more speed, new features and get rid of some of the bugs.

Don’t carry knives, Scouts told

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:47:00 +0000

Scouts have been advised not to carry penknives unless there is a “specific” reason to do so.

The guidance, published in Scouting magazine, follows confusion over laws on carrying a knife in public and a crackdown on knife culture.

Dave Budd, who runs safety courses for scouts, said knives “of any sort” should not be carried to camps unless there was a “specific need”.

But Kent scout leader Sheila Burgin said it was health and safety gone mad.

Scouts to be prepared about sex

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:45:00 +0000

The Scout Association is to start offering its members sexual health and relationships advice.

New guidance, geared mainly to 14 to 18-year-olds, advises leaders to discuss contraception and encourage resisting of peer pressure to have sex.

Scout groups can also organise trips to sexual health clinics and give details of other helpful agencies.
